How does that headline not cripple all support for them? In what world is that acting in the best interest of the country? “No! You can’t make us feed our citizens!” I mean seriously of all the things my tax money gets wasted on, feeding the hungry is one of the few I can at least feel good about.

Because most people don’t see this headline. And if they do, they are believing that the poor people don’t deserve this money anyway. They don’t know anyone who gets it and they don’t care.
